Ugly or cute? A new tetra species

Moenkhausia lineomaculata is the newest described species of characids. A diminutive cousin to the diamond tetra and red eye tetra, M.lieomaculata is the 80th species of the genus.

The new tetra was discovered at the upper rio Juruena, upper rio Tapajós basin, in west-central Brazil, South America. It's a rather nondescript species, but I can help but think a school of tiny M.lineomaculata might look pretty cool.
